36 Ralph is installing an Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN) for a small business with two offices on opposite sides of a courtyard. Ralph plans to run a multimode fiber-optic cable across the courtyard, but the budget is limited, and he cannot use fiber for the whole network. Therefore, he installs Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable in the two offices, which have 10 and 12 workstations, respectively. Which of the following devices should Ralph use to join the two UTP installations together into one LAN using the fiber-optic run across the courtyard, while keeping the cost to a minimum?Media convertersHubsSwitchesRouters
37 Five computers are connected to the same switch, but only four are able to communicate with each other. Assuming that all of the hardware is functioning properly, which of the following could be a reason for the fifth computer's communication problem?The switch has the fifth computer connected to a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) that's different from that of the other four.The network is experiencing a switching loop.The fifth computer is experiencing an MTU black hole, whereas the other four computers are not.There is a virtual router between the fifth computer and the other four.
38 Which of the following types of systems are frequently used to collect information from Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs)?SIEMNGFWRADIUSVoIP
39 Which of the following network devices are “dumb”—that is, purely electrical devices with no electronic intelligence?HubsSwitchesRoutersBridges
40 Which of the following explains why splitting a large, switched Ethernet LAN into two LANs by adding a router can help to alleviate traffic congestion and improve performance? (Choose all that apply.)Adding a router reduces the amount of broadcast traffic on each of the two LANs.Adding a router reduces the amount of unicast traffic on each of the two LANs.Adding a router diverts traffic to an alternate path through the network.Adding a router prevents computers on one LAN from communicating with computers on another LAN.
41 A small business office currently has a 100Base-TX Ethernet network with a single 8-port hub. All of the hub ports are populated, and the business owner wants to expand the network further. However, the hub does not have an uplink port. The owner has purchased a new hub, also with eight ports, which does have an uplink port, but he does not know how to connect them together. What must the owner do to install the new hub on the network?Use a standard patch cable to connect a standard port on the existing hub to a standard port on the new hub.Use a standard patch cable to connect a standard port on the existing hub to the uplink port on the new hub.Purchase a crossover cable and use it to connect a standard port on the existing hub to the uplink port on the new hub.Purchase a second new hub with an uplink port to replace the old one and use a standard patch cable to connect the two uplink ports together.
42 Which of the following tasks can you perform to split a large, switched Local Area Network (LAN) into multiple broadcast domains? (Choose all that apply.)Replace one or more switches with hubs.Install a firewall to filter broadcast traffic.Enable the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) on the switches.Create Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) in the switches.Install routers on the network.
43 Which of the following statements about bridges and switches is true?Bridges and switches are network layer devices that use logical addressing to forward frames.Bridges and switches are data link layer devices that use Media Access Control (MAC) addresses to forward frames.Bridges and switches build their internal tables based on destination addresses and forward packets based on source addresses.Bridges and switches must support the network layer protocol implemented on the Local Area Network (LAN).Each port on a bridge or switch defines a separate broadcast domain.
